Excerpt from Archives of Maryland: Proceedings of the Court of Chancery of Maryland, 1669 1679, Court Series (5)The seventeenth century courts Of Maryland, to begin with the highest, were 1) the appellate court of the Governor and Council sitting as the Upper House down through the year 1694, and after this date Sitting separately under the name of the Court of Appeals, (2) the Provincial Court or general law court of the Province, (3) the Court Of Chancery for hearing equity cases, (4) the several county courts, and 5) the manorial or leet courts which functioned on the larger manors. A brief general sketch by the editor Of the development of these courts will be found in the introduction to Volume L of the Archives of Maryland.Since the publication Of the last Provincial Court Proceedings as Volume L of the Archives, there was published in 1933, as the first volume of American Legal Records of the American Historical Association, the Proceedings of the Maryland C ourt of Appeals, 169 5-1729, edited by Judge Carroll T. Bond, Chief Judge of the Maryland Court Of Appeals. This is a study Of the records Of the Court of Appeals for the thirty-five years after the Governor and Council began to meet separately in 169 5 to hear cases on appeal and to keep separate records. The cases heard on appeal by the Governor and Council before 1695 are to be found scattered among the records of the Upper House, and have already been printed in the several volumes of the Archives of Maryland known as the Assembly Proceedings. As a rule the records of these cases heard on appeal before the Governor and Council sitting as the Upper House are reported more brie¿y than are the cases recorded after 1694 in the Proceedings of the Court Of Appeals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
